FIU Network Access >Other Devices> Supported Devices

In order to register your non-computer device on AIRS, you will first need to obtain its MAC address.  This is a unique 12-digit hexadecimal number which uniquely identifies your computer on the network.  Use the instructions below to help find you device's MAC address.  You may need to contact your device's vendor for additional information especially if your device is using a third-party network adapter.

If you believe support instructions for a particular device should be added to the list below, please feel free to contact UTS by visiting our website at http://uts.fiu.edu. 

If you already have your device's MAC address proceed to the registration instructions.
